Florida Resident - Florida Villas Elite Forums For Orlando & Florida

simplyflorida · 12th February 2010, 01:31 PM

My wife and I live in the UK and have owned a villa for around 10 years now. Previously we were able to obtain a Florida Residents card which helped quite a bit with discounts etc.

However, since 9/11 we were advised that we could not renew as we do not actually live in Florida.

I have heard that some Brits have been able to obtain the Florida Residents card and was wondering if any owners perhaps know how to go about this.

Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

Hi
We have also been advised that since 9/11 Florida Residents Card have not been issued to UK residents. Shame because it would help with costs and as villa owners we do support the Florida economy

Maureen you will need your passports and 2 further forms of identity, we took a bank statement and KUA bill

If they take 30 days to mail it to you then it won't be much use unless you are there for quite a long time, I presume. Do they mail it to your Villa address as we don't receive any mail now?
